No, it does not. At the start of that very section, we state:

"Initialization is performed in embedded mode using the isql utility.
For an embedded connection, an authentication password is not required
and will be ignored if you provide one"....and so on. It goes on to
explain that you DO need to supply SYSDBA as the session user: that's
because maintaining users is a privileged task in the security
database, even though you are connected to a regular database.

Here, you are using a client/server connection, not an embedded one.
You certainly need to supply full credentials for that.

So - time to read that chapter again.
